Gaspar, left, is one of the kids at Centro Maya that now goes to the regular school in San Pablo. He has a skin condition that causes blisters to form all over his body, which makes daily life harder for him.
Bob and Jeanne have a series of gardens for some of the families in San Juan and San Pablo next to their house in San Juan. Here, Domingo´s mom tends to her patch.
This is another family I visited with Jeanne before she flew back to the US. They´re digging a hole for a bathroom, which has to be about 10 meters deep. One of the kids is in the hole digging and then they haul the dirt up with a pulley system.
Other family members watch the work.
Jenna does some physical therapy with Rosalia, one of the kids at the center. Usually I help feed her at snack time.
The single muelle (dock) for San Pablo.
The week isn´t quite over, but I thought it a good time to post anyway. The photos are all from this week, but it´s definitely a hodgepodge of different things this time. This week has gone by pretty fast. I visited a few more families with Jeanne and will probably go back to shoot more with one of them this weekend. Other than that I´ve mostly been cooking for myself, reading, and hanging out with people. Not too much else to say. More to come soon.
Adios,
Pat
